@@CaliforniaLifeJourneys Because the city has too many hoops to jump through. If you are planning for a roof replacement at the same time you are in a good place, an engineer would be best to give a plan to follow. They will tell you how you need to go about raising your ceiling and the best way to insulate.

Excellent work and nice video. I did read that you do not need an air gap or even a ridge vent on your roof if you use spray insulation to fill the entire bay between your rafters, do you know if that is true? This would eliminate the need for a gap behind your rigid insulation. But you would probably know better than me. Nice work sir!

Good analogy. However, the insulation for our area is R-38 code. Therefore, it's better to have spray foam. But, not against the under side of the roof. You also said to leave a space between insulation and the under side of the roof decking. How much ??? Be specific. The space or gap you r looking at is not enough ventilation. So......the best way to solve the problem of venting and insulation and rafter size is to...... Build built-in vents. That is, allow as much as 4 to 6 inch space between the back side of the roof decking and the covering for the vent. Then, install a retrofit blower to keep this area circulating. Ok. Way over the top ?? I get it. But , it solves several problems. Plenty of room or space to eject hot air or condensation. Them spray foam since higher density than the rigid foam boards he is using. But spray it against the new underside of the interior of panels for inside. Hope that helps

If I added 8 inch to cheek the original will I be adding weight to my roof. I mean I imagine if I am taking off the old heavy plaster sandwich with wire it's a plus. I only plan about living room and kitchen to open wall and leaving an attic room on top it the two 10 foot rooms it's a 30 ×20 tiny house. Seeing this video I could add a nice fancy finished rafter in the center for support and style. But any tips would be appreciated 👍

The recessed lights are a mistake, IMO. They will become a path for the heat and moisture from the living space to the roof. The worst part of this issue will be a condensate forming inside of the insulation. I would go with the hanging or perimeter lights instead. The recessed lights may work in the warmer states. The colder states would require a better thought.
